The Falcon 2000 was the first business jet completely designed on computer including aerodynamics, equipment location, tools. CATIA computer designed provides greater safety, efficiency and maintainability
The Falcon 2000 offer:
more flexibility, with a maximum takeoff weight
more modern aerodynamics
cleaner design including area ruling gives higher speed (Mmo — Max cruise) and greater fuel efficiency
hight lift devices are the hallmark of the Falcon family. The slats on the wing leading edge and the double slotted Fowler flaps on the wing trailing edge lower the takeoff, approach and landing speeds for better safety and reduce field length requirements to use more airports
no artificial devices such as stick shaker, pusher, testimony of a safe airplane with refined aerodynamics
simplicity for reduced cockpit workload, better maintainability and reliability
hydraulic flight controls connected to cockpit by push-pull rods (mechanical back — up in case of hydraulic failure), for safety and to reduce maintenance
anti-ice system uses hot air produced by the engine
The Falcon 2000 provides:
certification to damage tolerance standards (provides a safer, more robust structure)
higher speeds: Vmo, turbulence penetration
higher service ceiling
